...as good a place to put this photo, I think. I'm sure most Canadians have seen it. This is Private Heath Matthews, a signaler in A Company, 1st of the Royal Canadian Regiment in Korea.
I was reading about the contribution of Australian and New Zealander troops to the Vietnam War, and it got me thinking...suppose in 1966 or 67, the Canadian government was somehow strongarmed (through whatever means) into sending a force to Vietnam.
I'm throwing out the question (one that I've already kind of rolled around in my head)...what would that force's size be? Who would make it up? Etc.?
